On Sunday, after the Great Camden Market Fire, the wonderful and special help offered by Talacre sports and community centre to fire victims became apparent.
It was claimed 100 emergency beds were available at the immensely popular sports centre soon to be made only accessible by the very questionable marshal managed private New Dalby Street scheme.
On Monday, outside the approach to the sports centre, a 24 bus was 'decapitated' under the railway arch on Prince of Wales Road.
This is just where Camden plans to narrow the road as a part of the same madcap road scheme. Thankfully, passenger injuries were less than they might have been.
